CNN: During the war with Iran, the US military has burned through nearly four-fifths of its THAAD missile inventory compared to pre-war numbers and roughly half of its Patriot interceptors since the start of the war.

So this #DevilsMinion fic turned out to be 60 pages. It fell out of me in 2.5 days. What the fucking fuck??? I've sent it off to my friend for eyes on it. Hopefully posting this weekend.

They stole ALL the Flock cameras in Winona.

"The podium was there. The press wasn’t. Premier Doug Ford has increasingly been attending what appear to be government announcements without inviting reporters. A review by The Trillium has found at least 5 examples since mid-May, when this practice appeared to become more frequent." 👀 #OnPoli

This is Massive Attack's response to what happened in Singapore, posted on their Instagram page. Good on them.

Well, this is absolutely bone chilling and not remotely surprising. it's the shit DHS has always been doing since it began 25 years ago but now at the current level of technological possibility x fascist permissions. (The Deep State? It's not The Jews™️, guys.)

its very telling that the mainstream media narrative is that dsa has wacky and unreasonable positions when the republican party position is that abortion should be banned, latino families should be put in concentration camps, black people should be shot by cops and transgender people shouldnt exist

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Fellow academics: I know a Haitian PhD student who due to TPS termination needs another institutional affiliation not in the USA. Do you or someone you know have an avenue for them? If so, DM me.

Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.

Reminder to everyone living with smoky air right now: DRINK MORE WATER. You're inhaling particulate even if you can't see it, your body needs to flush that crud out, and it needs water to do so. You're probably gonna produce more mucus and that's annoying, but it's helping clean out the crud.

El-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...

Time for Canada/provinces to make this possible here too. We should be allowed to have nice things that lower bills and emissions!

"new state laws and safety codes are reclassifying these plug-in kits as standard appliances — meaning renters can finally treat home solar like a simple toaster oven, plugging a personal power plant into any wall socket and cutting electricity bills by up to 25% with zero landlord approval."

I missed that Pope Leo mentioned his family history in an NBC News interview the other day. It really is quite remarkable that in selecting an American Pope, they ended up with someone whose family story embodies so many complexities of American history, both positive and negative.

Pope Leo details family’s slavery history in visit with Tom Llamas

For the first time on camera, Pope Leo XIV discussed his family’s history with slavery. “I come from a family that my grandparents were immigrants. On my mother’s side we have people who were both sla...

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

We were watching that silly new Tom Hiddleston reenactment of the disaster of Pompeii and he was like ‘we have amazing new tech that allows us to track people through this disaster’ and I was oh no he’s going to say it’s an AI brain or something and then he said…. ‘Its a spreadsheet’ and I CHEERED

Maddow asked #JamesTalarico about attacks on #trans people and those who think that to win, Dems must "moderate" on trans rights. Talarico answered, "I don't believe we win by selling people out." #Texas

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"
